Mila really enjoyed her bridge match at the House of Lords. She is pictured playing against Lord Hamilton and Lord Razzall. Mila’s team won, which was an extra bonus! And they were the only team with state school students on it! 

The English Bridge Education Director wrote a short piece about the event:

The latest school creative writing anthology, 'Light and Dark', was launched on Tuesday 30^th June with a special event in the library featuring readings of students' stories. This anthology was produced by our student-led Creative Writing Society, led by a committed group of Year 10 students: Eshaal, Savni, Roberta, Yiwen, Noemi, Harleen and Megan, and supported by Dr Button. As well as writing their own stories, they have mentored younger writers, editing and giving feedback on their work, which has now been published in this beautifully designed anthology. 

The Pi Representation Competition 2026 is a creative Maths competition hosted by Think Maths to celebrate Pi Day, which was on 14th March 2026.  Students are challenged to display the mathematical constant π (3.14159...) using creative formats rather than standard numbers. Submissions are made in mediums such as visual art, computer code, music, poetry, and textiles.

Day 1

The first day of our MFL trip started promptly at 6:20am at Kendrick School, and early as it was, we were all extremely excited to embark on our journey to Rouen in France. After a long day of travelling, we arrived at the meeting point to meet with our host families! After a few hesitant greetings in French, we returned to our rooms, bubbling with excitement for the next day!

From the 8th to 12th of June, we were given the incredible opportunity to complete our Year 12 Work Experience placement at the Department of Classics at the University of Reading. We worked closely with Professor Emma Aston, Head of the Department, on a number of tasks, including proofreading academic articles – one about the cultic worship of the centaur Chiron in Thessaly and its epichoric and panhellenic influences, the other examining the dominance of Thessaly within the Amphictyony (a religious league between neighbouring tribes) between itself and Delphi – and writing a report on the Department's social media. However, our main project for the week was curating a temporary exhibit in collaboration with the Ure Museum (one of the largest collections of Greek ceramics in the UK) and Professor Amy Smith, its curator.

Earth Week 2026 will be marked at Kendrick School from 8th to 12th June, which brings our school community together to celebrate sustainability, creativity, and positive action for the environment. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to take part in a range of activities, including Just Dance and an Eco Pledge, tote bag decoration, and bracelet making using donated beads and string.
